Metro dared to have adisplay, and they werenot run out of town ona rail, surprisingly - howcivilized we are in Bethesda!

I was at the event and very, very much appreciated the shade provided by the "high-rises" walking down the side streets for too long was almost unbearable thanks to the sun in a cloudless sky. I look forward to future events when the area is further developed providing more shade along Norfolk Ave.

If you notice all of the tables in your photo were empty, not because people didn't want to sit, but because of the sun.

As an aside, why must you always be so negative?

I give credit to Metro for at least trying to engage with the community, and most MoCo residents aren't like you? And calling a commenter a carpetbagger (which you don't seem to know the meaning of. Hint: Look up Reconstruction in the former Confederacy) because he misnames a building? Really?

Metro dared to have a display, and they were not run out of town on a rail, surprisingly - how civilized we are in Bethesda!

Bethesda would be a podunk afterthought without Metro. It's the reason for all of the development and economic activity we're seeing today. Want to talk about moribund? Visit the alternate reality where Metro was routed around Bethesda.

It's not about being civilized, it's called "not biting the hand that feeds you."

Why couldn't you get the Smoothie King mascot to turn toward the camera?

Also, Photos #1 and #5 are duplicates, apart from different weird filters for each. And why is that guy in the green polo shirt wearing two different colors of socks - black on one foot and white on the other?
